As London Design Festival approaches, west London’s Syon Park is transformed once again for Decorex - a platform for the world’s leading interior brands to showcase their latest creations, from furniture to lighting and textiles. The show’s custom-designed VIP lounge is always a highlight (last year created by design duo Turner Pocock) and, this year, sparked particular excitement at House & Garden when it was announced that our interior designer of the year and top 100 designerBeata Heuman will be behind it.

‘We wanted to create an oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the fair, and transport people to a slightly different reality,’ says Beata of her Egyptian-revival-inspired concept. ‘To help people forget about the outside world and feel present in the moment they are in is an underlying ambition when we design interiors, and we add unusual - sometimes surreal – elements, or dreamlike colour combinations, for this reason.' Of her inspiration, she says "I have always been drawn to the Egyptian revival - not only is there endless beauty and ideas to be drawn from this era, but the already nostalgic, fantastical and exotic feeling really appeals.'
